Suspects Sought in Fifth District Armed Robbery

The NOPD is seeking assistance from the public in identifying and locating two suspects who are believed to be responsible for an armed robbery that occurred near the intersection of Caffin Avenue and Marais Street.

The victim told police that on October 21, 2019 around 1:15 a.m., he was walking home when he was approached by two two black males on a red bicycle.

The male attired in the black hoodie reportedly demanded the victim’s cash under the guise he was armed with a firearm. The subject then pushed the victim to the ground before taking the cash and fleeing the scene, along with the other male, both on the red bicycle.

Anyone with information that can help Fifth District detectives locate these individuals should call 504-658-6050. Citizens with information that can help solve crimes are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
